+James Raggi has put his collection of PDFs on sale at $2.50 each. Most of James' releases are pretty good, and even the ones I'm not personally crazy about have a strong following.
Carcosa is something I'd never run, but would liberally steal ideas from, and at $2.50, it's a bargain.
Vornhiem is
something I swear at, but others swear by it. Again, a bargain for $2.50
LotFP Rules and Magic Full Version - sure, you can get the no frills no art version for free, but the art is what makes this, for good or ill.
The Seclusium of Orphone of the Three Visions - Vincent Baker's take on wizards in LotFP Weird Fantasy.
Isle of the Unknown - a sandbox ripe for picking - probably the bargain of the bunch.
There's a lot more, but this should get you started.
Prices are good until December 30th.
Oh, come on Tenkar! Even if you have no use for the crazy dice charts there are plenty of story seeds in Vornheim. I have all of the books you listed above in hardback and can verify that they are indeed awesome and thought-provoking.
ReplyDeleteI usually avoid Raggi's stuff because it all falls on some weird venn diagram where Heavy Metal Magazine, snuff porn, Saw films, Tolkien and exploitation flicks all seem to smash into one another....but I've heard enough about Carcosa to conclude that for 2.50 I better snag it while the snagging's good.
ReplyDeleteSigh. On your recommendation I downloaded Isle of the Unknown...then got Vornheim to see what the fuss is about. Also grabbed The Monolith From Beyond Space and Time and the Dungeon of the Unknown.
